The OSI Model: An Overview

  • Which layer would choose to send data over TCP or UDP?
4
  • Which layer checks received packets to make sure that they haven't been corrupted?
2
  • In which layer would data be formatted in preparation for transmission?
2
  • Which layer transmits and receives data?
1
  • Which layer encrypts, compresses, or otherwise transforms the initial data to give it a standardised format?
6
  • Which layer tracks communications between the host and receiving computers?
5
  • Which layer accepts communication requests from applications?
7
  • Which layer handles logical addressing?
3
  • When sending data over TCP, what would you call the "bite-sized" pieces of data?
Segments
  • [Research] Which layer would the FTP protocol communicate with?
7
  • Which transport layer protocol would be best suited to transmit a live video?
UDP

Encapsulation

  • How would you refer to data at layer 2 of the encapsulation process (with the OSI model)?
Frames
  • How would you refer to data at layer 4 of the encapsulation process (with the OSI model), if the UDP protocol has been selected?
Datagrams
  • What process would a computer perform on a received message?
De-encapsulation
  • Which is the only layer of the OSI model to add a trailer during encapsulation?
Data Link
  • Does encapsulation provide an extra layer of security (Aye/Nay)?
Aye

The TCP/IP Model

  • Which model was introduced first, OSI or TCP/IP?
TCP/IP
  • Which layer of the TCP/IP model covers the functionality of the Transport layer of the OSI model (Full Name)?
Transport
  • Which layer of the TCP/IP model covers the functionality of the Session layer of the OSI model (Full Name)?
Application
  • The Network Interface layer of the TCP/IP model covers the functionality of two layers in the OSI model. These layers are Data Link, and?.. (Full Name)?
Physical
  • Which layer of the TCP/IP model handles the functionality of the OSI network layer?
Internet
  • What kind of protocol is TCP?
Connection-based
  • What is SYN short for?
Synchronise
  • What is the second step of the three way handshake?
SYN/ACK
  • What is the short name for the "Acknowledgement" segment in the three-way handshake?

217.160.0.152
  • What switch lets you change the interval of sent ping requests?
-i
  • What switch would allow you to restrict requests to IPv4?
-4
  • What switch would give you a more verbose output?
-v

Networking Tools Traceroute

  • What switch would you use to specify an interface when using Traceroute?
-i
  • What switch would you use if you wanted to use TCP SYN requests when tracing the route?
-T
  • [Lateral Thinking] Which layer of the TCP/IP model will traceroute run on by default (Windows)?

Networking Tools Dig

  • What is DNS short for?
Domain Name System
  • What is the first type of DNS server your computer would query when you search for a domain?
Recursive
  • What type of DNS server contains records specific to domain extensions (i.e. .com, .co.uk*, etc)*? Use the long version of the name.
Top-Level Domain
  • Where is the very first place your computer would look to find the IP address of a domain?
